Clooney and Ms. arriving in Laglio


The mayor contacted by an editor of the Times

Waiting at the party a parade of Hollywood stars

George Clooney is coming to Villa Oleandra for Holy Week in cheerful company and the occasion will be occupied all the accommodations of the guesthouse and the adjoining Villa Margherita.

He says The Times of London and is a confirmation by the mayor Roberto Pozzi who was contacted by an editor of the prestigious magazine.

The community lagliese for George and Amal in Serbia has a surprise that the mayor does not want to reveal. It is a very original wedding gift that was prepared last year.

Large service of the province on newsstands Sunday, March 15

I hope so. I like to see pics from George in Como again

Well, when the local paper and the mayor says The Times called, then maybe there's some truth in it........

A party for those who didn't get into the 60 guest quota at the wedding or couldn't go maybe........

Their address books must be HUGE!

Well since Money Monster is still being filmed, and in fact they start shooting in Wall Street April 8 George must be squeezing this trip into his schedule.  Columbia U would probably be on spring break so guess not an issue for Amal.  Seems like an odd time though to have a party in Como.  
The weather will probably be chilly too.

We don't know when he's needed as an actor, do we? And as a producer and leading man I guess he has some input in scheduling! Bet he's had all it worked out for months.........

Wait for all the shutters to be opened at d'Oleandra................

I won't believe this one until I see the shutters open.

Agree Melbert.  I don't recall him ever going to Como at this time of year.   Columbia's break is probably now, most colleges are with an Easter that is in April.  And if he is coming there for an event, I doubt "Holy Week" has anything to do with his plans.

hmmm
we will keep open eyes


arms too

Mm, now isn't there some suggestion that April 15 is a significant date for 'Tomorrowland' and could it be anything to do with the Eiffel Tower 'rocket' thingy (a technical term obviously)?

Possible joining-up-of-dots............

Maybe to celebrate 1 year anniversary of engagement with those not on the wedding guest list?  Misses Gio?  Forgot to pack something when they left in Sept? It's going to be a looooooooooong month waiting to find out.. if we ever do!

Yes there is the one year anniversary to celebrate their engagement.  But I don't understand the Google translation of the article.  It just doesn't make much sense.  The sources are certainly reputable but the story is confusing.

....then there's the Armenian genocide commemoration......April 24th...

Hey PAN isn't that happening next year, 2016?  From the Armenian 100 Lives event last week I thought they said the first prize will be awarded next April 24, 2016 and that George will be there for the ceremony.

Eiffel Tower rocket what? what is it? 

The Armenian Genocide 1915 100 years commemoration services are on April 24 all over the world.

The Aurora Prize is same time next year.

From the Brad Bird talk last week lots of questions came up about the 'Eiffel Tower' rocket and April 15 seem to come up.........Where is Sevens to correct me?!

it's me have you watched the trailer of TOMORROWLAND? there is a rocket inside the Eiffel Tower. and the viral site takemetotomorrowland.com counts down to April 15th.

There has to be more going on than a Tomorrowland event. If that's all it is, why not just  go to Paris for however long it takes? Why open the house in Como when they both still have to come back to the States to work? Very odd.

I don't think George would promote anything in Paris with regards to the Eiffel Tower rocket in the Tomorrowland movie. First of all the attack in the past and then only last week the ISIS thread to attack the Eiffel Tower. I don't think this would be a good promotion for Tomorrowland and I'm sure the French People would not like it.

As for the Ester Como visit. Maybe it is just a rumor made up by the Mayor to promote the location for tourists during the Easter time. Maybe they need business   and what works best then George name 

But of course I'm only guessing.... We have to wait and see....

thanks for explanations!!

oh got it
i usually see G
then the rest   
I saw the Eiffel Tower
but also a 22 May

no?

This looks a tad more likely - could also fit in with any showing of Tomorrowland at Cannes, possible visit to Armenia for 100th anniversary, nip to GB to check out the house, Amal could vote - and it's warmer!

Anyway, parking warnings back on.........not sure they're were ever removed to be honest, but the cabinieri no doubt would be lurking........

Back Clooney, fines for spies

According to the "Times" of London who contacted the mayor Roberto Pozzi, George Clooney is coming to Villa Oleandra in good company; and the occasion will be occupied all the accommodations of the guesthouse and the adjoining Villa Margherita.

An editor of the prestigious British magazine wanted to know whether the council intends to restore the prohibitions navigation along the coast and the rest along the marina and near the entrances of homes: rules are introduced for the protection of privacy and for reasons of public order.

"The editor - says the mayor - told me that George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin are about to reach Laglio as they have in mind to organize a big party with their friends vip, probably coinciding with the birthday of George that marks the May 6; a kind of compensation for the fact that, despite some promising announcements, marriage was not celebrated on Lake Como. "

Wells with 3 April was preparing to renew the ordinances parking areas adjacent villas with prohibitions navigation of vessels and stop within 100 meters from the coast.

"I have decided to tighten the provisions of the two ordinances - he says - taking into account that the past years had been issued as a deterrent, but without elevation of sanctions. This year, in anticipation of a further increase of onlookers, violations will be punished with fines as the case from 50 to 500 Euros. "

I think George is taking extra precautions now that he has married Amal.  I think he is concerned for her safety more than his own.  And the additional interest in the two of them since the marriage could be a part of it too.  I don't think he would have requested this ordinance if it was just for his own benefit.

They've done this every year for the past few years.  I think it draws MORE attention to them being there.

Then why is it news this year? Guess because they increased the penalties for the couple's protection, whereas if it was just G it wouldn't be necessary.

So Easter is over. Did he show? Did the shutters open?

They don't do this only because of Amal they have done this before for George doesn't matter what woman was with him. It is always for George. it looks to me every year the Mayor tries soemthing new with new rules but at the end we always get our Pictures of George

I can't wait for this summer

Thanks Nicky and melbert.  I didn't know they did it every year.  Guess the mayor is looking out for Como's adopted resident.  I suspect anyone who lives in Como or is a tourist associates George with Como. Everyone knows he lives there in the summer.  No surprises there.

I like your avatar Donnamaire.  

I imagine that if there's a good picture to be had, any papp agency would be happy to pay the $600 fine to be able to get it.

Thanks Joanna.  


Way2  you're probably right.  I remember last summer on the dock George was waving his finger or giving his look of disapproval at someone taking pics of him and Amal while the ordinance was in effect.  Guess it was worth it.

The paps get lots of pics of George and his friends/family every year.  Can't imagine they're all getting fined.  Maybe they stay outside of the designated perimeter on the lake.

yes agree , and I remember during his wedding there was a rule for those taxi boats to keep a special distance from George boat and paps made offers to those taxi Drivers if they break the rule to pay the fine for them and pay them extra money
